Feature #23610
Updated by Go MAEDA over 7 years ago
ATM, when copying an issue *A* to an issue *B*, the user can choose between 2 statuses : - The status from *A* (which is selected by default) - The default status of current tracker from *B* But this can lead to problems : - *B* may be in a status that the user can't interact with - It allows user to skip parts of a workflow - _(Specific)_ This leads to unintended cases, which mess up things like external data exports or billing They can manually change the status of *B* during the copy, but from my experience, they don't (the status is reset on about 10% of copied issues only) This behaviour should be set in the _Administration panel_. The patch is attached, and here's the corresponding commit : https://github.com/vincent-clipet/redmine/commit/45335d4e9e7d7d4aa89dbc282c52dc1b0368b116 It adds a configuration setting (_reset_issue_status_on_copy_). When checked, all copied issues statuses are forced to the default status of the current tracker.
